Praying for Stellan in the NICU last night... won't you?
Last night were bored to tears with our two couplets, while my other place of employment (competition) was drowning in babies and placenta across town. Jen & I made the most of our quiet night. Even lifted up a prayer for a precip to walk in... but, all in all, my dear friend successfully completed her nursing career and is now moving on to greener pastures as a FNP. In her honor, just look at these shoes... could you walk a mile in them? I'm sure many miles have been trudged in these scuffy old dogs. How many babies do you think they have welcomed into this world?
Birkenstocks RULE!!
My oldest baby is leaving for Texas late tonight. I don't usually like to just throw out their sweet faces on my blog... but, they really are worthy of a peek to you all once in a while. Here he is being uber kewl rippin on his rip stick (that's fancy skate board talk!) Love you, Babe... be safe, come home to me tan, happy, and well rested! Pray at bedtime, shower and brush your teeth every day!!! ~Love, Mom
This is my youngest trying to impress her brothers. One minute she loves Hannah "Montamma", the next she is romping around as a Storm Trooper. I am surrounded by Star Wars Junkies... they even have my baby girl sucked into the madness.
My middle child... I say that with much love in my heart. He is the light of my life... and, according to his latest whopper... a drunk. Told his teacher last week that he needs to drink 3 swigs of whine a night to help him sleep. The school councilor pulled my oldest out of class to ask him about it because she was "concerned." Oldest son laughed and said, "he is only 8 years old... and he's a little over the top sometimes."
I laughed first. Then I cried. Then I laughed. Then I cleaned my house in case Child Protection needs to stop by and investigate. My son has a history of crushing on his teachers... was he trying to impress her??? He's really not a lush... promise!!! We don't even keep alcohol in the house!!!
But, regardless of his little secret, we did celebrate his birthday... the big 8. We hung a ginormous number eight on the front door... and had a nice time with family. Our friend and neighbors made these gorgeous cakes!!
And here's looking at "Tinkle Bell!" What a happy birthday is was for my baby girl!
Oh... and I almost forgot to mention... she had a little run-in with her wooden bed... the bed won. So far we've had two trips to the dentist, with one more to come... all to correct a tooth that did not survive the fall. May it rest in peace... beneath a shiny baby tooth white crown.
Blurry mess this last one is... but in the moment it is my daughter and her best friend enjoying SPRING... riding in a hot pink mustang... in all of their glory. And I loved they were so very happy this day... and I hope I never forget the smell of her hair when she's had fun outside all day!
